Answer:

The correct answer is - 4.1 billion years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, there is a timeline given based on the fossils evidence and on the base of this timeline, it is given that the earth formed around 4.5 Billion years ago. Soon after the earliest water, the first living unicellular single-celled organism found which is dated around 4.1 billion years ago.

It has appeared soon after the earth formed itself and after a billion years later the first photosynthetic organism occurred.
